Our People and Culture 70 2021 Sustainability Report A Modern, High-Performing Health System Introduction Responsible Business Practices Performance Data Environmental Health Advancing diversity, equity and inclusion At UnitedHealth Group, we celebrate our people, ideas and experiences — creating a culture where all team members are appreciated, valued and able to contribute to their full potential. We join together as individuals, forming a team as diverse as the people we serve, one person at a time. We are committed to building an innovative culture where diversity is celebrated, equity is realized and inclusion is embraced. We formed the Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Office in 2021, composed of subject matter experts, internal consultants and organizational advisers. The Global DEI Office leads the enterprise strategies for diversity, equity, inclusion and associated learning resources. We created a strategic framework to advance our long- standing commitment to diversity and inclusion. We started by elevating and adding “equity” as a strategic focus, which shares our commitment to building solutions that meet the diverse needs of our people and patients we are honored to serve. Our diversity, equity and inclusion framework is anchored by three overarching pillars: people, workplace and marketplace. We seek to create a workforce reflective of the communities we serve. We want all team members to feel a sense of belonging and inclusion and we are committed to growing our business and improving the diversity of our suppliers and health care professionals. Our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is enhanced through our integrated approach of improving our leadership, systems and culture.
